They look kinda spooky to me GLWS though, interesting stuff 👍
These aren't everyone's cup of tea but they are popular types and there are many different issues from several periods. Huge history behind them too.
Thank you! 🌟

Out of work at the moment, I'm afraid, but a piece of history. Ducats became an informal common currency with about 30 polities minting them at one point or another. Predates the Euro by more than half a millennium.
They are fascinating coins. I did a short write-up on these in a post I did on some Mamluk Ashrafi gold coins recently. These were struck in the same weight and approximately the same purity so as to make trade easier back in the day.

Venice Gold Ducats – Zecchino – Alvise Mocenigo II – Seven Stunning Examples! – £550 Posted Each – UK 🇬🇧
From its introduction in 1284 to the fall of Venice to Napoleon in 1797, the design of the Venetian gold ducat, more formally the zecchino, remained unaltered for more than 500 years.
Originally called a ‘ducat’ (‘ducato’) after the ruling Doge of Venice, it was latterly decided to describe such coins as zecchinos after the Zecca (mint) of Venice. The reason for this change was that in the year of 1543 Venice started to mint silver coins also described as ducats.
The obverse of these zecchinos feature a standing depiction of Saint Mark presenting staff to a kneeling doge (chief magistrate of Venice or Genoa). The letters ‘DVX’ alight vertically at the top of the staff.
The reverse boasts a forward-facing figure of Christ within a beaded, star-lined ellipse.
Each of the beautiful examples on offer here dates from the period of Doge Alvise Mocenigo II of the Republic of Venice (1700-1709) and is over 315 years old.
Each comprised of 3.50 grams of pure gold (trade standard of the time).
Price is £550 each including fully-insured postage to mainland UK and Northern Ireland.
Shipped price to the United States is $700 USD. ✈️📦🇺🇸
Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account, PayPal, and any debit or credit card via my website.

Thank you for that, Roy. I am always happy to contribute a different dynamic to the forum. This has been a really well-received piece and that is always good to see as someone who deeply appreciates the historical significance of such pieces!
Sorry that you have missed out on this occasion, @Aldebaran I would love to say I could get another...

Thank you so much for this kind comment. I must say, there is a great variety in what I offer, but that's simply because there is greater diversity in foreign coinage than there is in coinage of the United Kingdom. Everybody has their niche and interests, but for me the great variety within the realm of foreign coinage is what captivates me.
All the best! 🌟
